19502 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 74 / Wednesday, April 18, 2007 / Notices 

Individuals with Hearing and Speech 

Disabilities, CC 98–67 and CG Docket 

No. 03–123, FCC 05–141, that clarified 

two-line captioned telephone VCO 

service, like one-line captioned 

telephone VCO service, is a type of TRS 

eligible for compensation from the 

Interstate TRS Fund. Also, the 

Commission clarified that certain TRS 

mandatory minimum standards do not 

apply to two-line captioned VCO 

service, and waived 47 CFR 64.604(a)(1) 

and (a)(3) of the Commission’s rules, for 

providers who offers two-line captioned 

VCO service. This clarification 

increased the number of providers who 

will be providing one-line and two-line 

captioned VCO services. 

On January 11, 2007, the Commission 

released a Declaratory Ruling, In the 

Matter of Telecommunications Relay 

Services and Speech-to-Speech Services 

for Individuals with Hearing and 

Speech Disabilities, CG Docket No. 03–

123, FCC 06–182, granting a request for 

clarification that Internet Protocol (IP) 

captioned telephone relay service (IP 

CTS) is a type of TRS eligible for 

compensation from the Interstate TRS 

Fund when offered in compliance with 

the applicable TRS mandatory 

minimum standards.
